Freak_090 Wark_Ento Ok thanks guys! ^_^ Oh and where can I find good gun cleaning products? Academy, Gander Mountain, Cabela's? I personally use Break Free CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant) It does the jobs, and It does them well. Other people wear by Hoppes, but I've never used it, so I can't comment on it. For my AR, I've always used engine degreaser and a dry boresnake. ninja Oh yeah, and carburetter cleaner on the bolt.

Requiem6661 My friend's grandpa has a cleaning kit for his .22 rifles, and he makes me clean the barrel after each session. Easy way to see if there's any residue in the barrel: 1. Empty the gun. Use cleaning kit 2. tear a strip off a piece of paper 3. open the bolt, and place the paper in so you can still see the breech. 4. position the rifle under a light source, so the light hits the paper. Look down the barrel, from the muzzle. You should be able to see the rifling, and the residue on it, if any. Is you don't want to do all this, buy one of those lights with the flexible bodies and shine it down the breech. Then look down the barrel. If you can see a bullet in the barrel, you didn't do Step 1. In which case, close the bolt and pull the trigger. I've always done it the other way, but then again, I have a bolt-action. I pop out the bolt, aim the gun at a lightbulb, and you can see s**t clear as day. 'S how I came to discover that one run-through with a boresnake can clean an AR barrel of several hundred rounds of residue in a single pull.

Seriously, a cleaning job that would take thirty or forty patches with all the wet/dry/wet/dry bullshit now takes thirty seconds with a dry boresnake, and gives equal if not superior results. Also, a boresnake is physically incapable of damaging your muzzle, so long as you pull it through chamber-first. $14 is the average, but if you look around you can get them for $12 or even cheaper, though that's rare. But hey, I pinch pennies. You might not care about a couple bucks.
